8+x=12x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
8+x-12x=0
Subtract 12x from both sides.
8-11x=0
Combine x and -12x to get -11x.
-11x=-8
Subtract 8 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-8}{-11}
Divide both sides by -11.
x=\frac{8}{11}
Fraction \frac{-8}{-11} can be simplified to \frac{8}{11} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
